ironic

1. A situation where the result is a complete reverse (and practical mockery) of what was expected

2. A word heavy misused and abused in conversation today, mostly by people who think that using the word in any way will automatically make them seem intelligent. The word is usually misused to exactly mean "coincidental" or "tragic", when again it doesn't mean this (see #1)
If the heavy metal band Anthrax dies of anthrax, that would be poetically tragic, but not ironic. If a diabetic crosses the street and is run over by a truck carrying insulin, then it's ironic.

"Isn't it ironic that the pop song 'Ironic' contains absolutely no examples of irony?"

"One issue of Mad Magazine showed Alfred E. Neuman face-down in the desert, crushed to death by a parachuted crate of first aid supplies. Now THAT was ironic!"

ironic lolicon

A person that identifies as a lolicon but denies being a pedophile or being attracted to real children, saying they only like drawings.

They usually prefer legal lolis (adult women who look underage) over true lolis (actually underage girls) and sometimes even try to claim lolis are not supposed to represent children. Usually ignorant of the fact that the word lolicon (ロリコン) literally means attraction to young girls in Japan, ironic lolicons spend a significant amount of their time trying to prove they are not pedophiles on Twitter or some other online platform.
Non-lolicon: Loli is pedophilia. You are masturbating to drawings of children.
Unironic lolicon: So what?
Ironic lolicon: NOOOOOO! Lolis are not children! They are... um... small women or something. I actually find real kids gross. Please don't call me a pedo.
